Description
St George's Church of England Primary School is a school built in 1849 for the Furness Railway Company. It is constructed from red sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a graduated slate roof. The building is single-storey and has a layout of three bays, three bays, one bay, and one bay; the first three bays and the seventh bay project as gables, with the entrance located on the right return and a gabled wing at the rear. The corners are accentuated with rock-faced quoins.
The central recess contains three square-headed windows fitted with later casements, alongside a blind three-light mullioned window in a half-dormer. The left gable features projecting sills and quoined reveals for three pointed-arched windows, also with later casements, the central window being larger. This gable is adorned with shaped kneelers and moulded gable copings. The narrower right gable has a Tudor-arched window, matching kneelers and copings, along with a trefoil in a corbelled base intended for a bell turret. There is also a Tudor-arched window in the end bay on the right side.
On the right return, an altered doorway has a concrete lintel beneath the original Tudor arch, and the gable is coped with a terracotta cross. A link block set back on the right connects the school to No. 2 Salthouse Road. This school was built for the children of Furness Railway employees and was part of the early development of the new town centered around the railway terminus in St George's Square.
